The 1-pound rectangular fruitcake contains quintessential Date Lady ingredients, including dates, date sugar and date syrup. The fruit's caramel notes pair perfectly with the aromatic spices in the cake, which Sundlie describes as dense but delectable.

Instagram Stories Campaign

Instagram Stories are a great channel to share visual content that you wouldn’t normally share on your feed. After all, if you have a set theme or color scheme for your Instagram feed, an advertisement could throw off the look you worked hard for.
